or brushing. This technology is also more comfortable,
avoiding the mouth abrasions that can be caused
by the metal and wires of conventional braces.
And this technology is also more convenient, since
you are likely to spend less time in our office

How
Invisalign can improve the health of your
mouth.

Teeth
that are crowded or too widely spaced can
create unhealthy conditions, including swollen
gums, redness and pocketing, all of which
are signs of periodontal disease. As Invisalign
invisibly straightens your teeth, it can also
do great things for the health of your mouth.

Healthier Gums

Clinical studies have shown
that gum health may improve with the use of
Invisalign during orthodontic treatment¹.
Properly aligned teeth can help gums "fit"
tighter around each tooth², which may
lead to better periodontal health. Unlike
braces, with Invisalign, you can brush and
floss normally, which can help prevent tooth
decay and periodontal disease.

Easier
Cleanings

Unlike traditional orthodontics
or braces, Invisalign has no metal bands or
wires to trap food and plaque. Maintaining
a good oral hygiene program will also reduce
chances of plaque buildup, tooth decay and
periodontal disease.

Improved
Chewing and Speech

For some people, incorrectly
positioned teeth and jaws can exacerbate speech
difficulties and chewing problems. Correcting
your bite by straightening your teeth can
help improve both.

Lower
Risk of Trauma and Abnormal Wear

Properly
aligned teeth can be less stressful on supporting
bone and jaw joints.

How
much does Invisalign® cost?

An investment in yourself.
We know that cost is a big question for anyone
considering dental or orthodontic work. The
truth is, only your doctor can determine the
cost for your specific treatment. It depends
on the kind of treatment you need, how long
it takes, and even where you live. Invisalign
treatment is usually similar to the cost of
traditional braces. It can start in the ballpark
of $3500 and go up from there. The national
average for Invisalign is about $5000.

Does
insurance cover Invisalign?

If
you have dental insurance that covers orthodontic
treatment, Invisalign should qualify.

How
else can I get help?

Many
companies allow pre-tax contributions to be
set aside in a Flexible Spending Account (FSA).
Orthodontic treatment is considered a qualified
treatment that can be reimbursed using your
FSA. Many doctors also offer flexible and
affordable in-house payment plans.

is Care Credit?

William
Age 31
Investment Broker

At my age, to have the big metal train tracks
in your mouth...I just figured, in person
with people, I just wouldn't feel as comfortable
as I would with something that was truly invisible.
I really believe in the product, I am kind
of a walking, talking billboard for it.

Breanna
Age 20
Waitress & Student

What I like best about Invisalign is the fact
that I can take them out and floss and brush
my teeth and put them back in. So it's not
like I'm working around all this metal in
my mouth, trying to get the toothbrush in
there and the floss in there.

Vivian
Age 53
Nurse

I am absolutely, positively thrilled. The
fact that I was done with it in less than
a year, and really had no inconveniences whatsoever,
makes me wonder why I even hesitated.

Daniel
Age 38
Chauffeur

I definitely smile a lot more. Even though
I'm still in the process, it has given me
more confidence. It's given me something to
look forward to. I feel good about myself.
I feel good that I have taken the steps to
get these braces.

Gina
Age 31

I would not have gone the regular braces route.
I am in a customer-facing position in the
high-tech industry, with a lot of young and
hip people around me. To be in management,
with a mouthful of braces in front of customers
and prospects, just wasn't an option.

Doug
Age 17

My teeth look great! Using Invisalign was
very easy and put me at ease, knowing that
I was not going to have the pain of wires
and brackets in my lips. I can now talk and
smile with confidence, thanks to Invisalign.

ORTHODONTICS

What
is Orthodontics?
Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that specializes
in the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of
dental irregularities. Tooth movement is accomplished
by light pressure exerted on the teeth. The pressure
is applied by a variety of orthodontic appliances.
These appliances have progressed by use of space
aged research to apply gentile forces over the
course of treatment. These are not "my fathers
braces", braces now come in clear or metal. They
no longer need "bands" to go completely around
the teeth. Many of your friends have braces or
have completed treatment, look at the difference
it has made.

FREQUENTLY
ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT ORTHODONTICS

How much do braces cost?
The price of orthodontic appliances can
vary, depending upon the severity of the
malocclusion, appliance, treatment time
and the orthodontist's fee. The price range
is quite large, but you will probably end
up paying between $3600-4800. The best way
to get a quote is to ask your orthodontist.

Do
I have to?
No one is going to force you to wear braces.
However, if you have some sort of malocclusion,
it will cause you problems later in life if
it is left untreated. Braces line your teeth
up in the best possible manner to avoid plaque
build-up, and undue wear and tear on your
teeth and gums. They also help to improve
your self esteem by giving you the best possible
smile.

Will my braces hurt?
It doesn't hurt to apply your braces, but
for the first week after you've had them put
on, your teeth and jaw may ache. If any parts
of the braces start to hurt the inside of
your mouth, you can apply wax to the braces
to smooth things over. You can also take an
aspirin or Disprin to help the ache. Remember
- the pain doesn't last very long. It will
also help to limit your diet just to soft
foods for the first week.

How old is too old for braces?
You are never too old to benefit from wearing
braces. However, there may be some limitations,
depending on your age.

What age should I send my child to
an orthodontist?
Once the deciduous teeth start to fall out
(exfoliate), the child should be examined
by an orthodontist. If the baby teeth have
fallen out too early, a preventative treatment
may be needed to stop the erupting teeth from
overcrowding.

When will I get my braces off?
This depends on how severe your malocclusion
is. It also depends on your age, your growth
spurts and how willing your teeth are to move!
You can speed up the process by not breaking
your braces, maintaining good oral hygiene,
and wearing your appliances correctly. The
usual time for braces is 18 - 24 months.

Are there any foods I can't eat?
Yes! Some hard crunchy foods may break your
braces, so you'll have to wear them longer.
These food include carrots, peanuts, gum,
candy, popcorn, ice, hard chips and biscuits.

Can I chew gum?
There are some types of gum that you can chew,
which will stimulate saliva production in
your mouth. Sugar-free gums such as Wrigleys
are great. However, do not chew sticky gum
that will get caught in your braces.

Brushing & Flossing:
The biggest enemy of your teeth is plaque
and the most common and effective means of
removing plaque from your teeth is regular
brushing and flossing:

Hold the brush at an angle and press
firmly against the teeth, flexing the
bristles.

Move the brush in small circles, cleaning
the tooth surface.

Brush above the archwire and below it.

Brush the backside and chewing surfaces
of all your teeth.

Flossing

Slide the floss gently between the
teeth.

Avoid
snapping the floss through a tight
space.

Rub the floss up and down the sides
of each tooth.

Do not use a shoe shine or see-saw
motion.

Sometimes,
a parent whose child is being treated will choose
to correct his or her bite at the same time.
The fact is, braces can improve a persons smile-and
confidence-at almost any age. More and more adults
are turning to orthodontic treatment to correct
a smile that's bothered them most of their lives.
With the help of your dentist you can have a healthy,
beautiful smile. And with todays smaller, less
visible, more comfortable braces, plus the affordable
payment plans that many orthodontists offer, adult
patients are finding braces more appealing than
ever. Some orthodontists even offer special payment
plans for adults and their children who go through
the treatment at the same time.

Depending on how much correction is needed, some
patients opt for braces on the back surface of
their teeth, where they're not visible to the
eye. For many adults, the improvement in their
health and appearance after braces is well worth
the time and expense. We also offer Invisalign®,
a nearly invisible mouthpiece.

While
your child's teeth may appear to be straight,
there could be a problem. Of course, the check-up
may reveal that your child's bite is fine, and
that can be comforting news. Even if a problem
is detected immediate treatment may not be recommended..
Chances are, your doctor will take a "wait
and see" approach, checking on your child
from time to time as the permanent teeth come
in and the jaws and face continue to grow. In
some cases, there are problems that can benefit
from early treatment.

Early treatment may prevent more serious problems
from developing, and make treatment at a later
age shorter and less complicated. Typically, early
treatment involves the use of orthodontic appliances,
which may be removable, to guide the growth of
young bones and create a better environment for
adult teeth as they emerge. In some cases, one
will be able to achieve results that wouldn't
be possible once the face and jaw have finished
growing. Early treatment gives your child's dentist
the chance to:

Guide jaw growth
Lower the risk of trauma to protruded front teeth
Correct harmful oral habits
Improve appearance and self-esteem
Guide permanent teeth into a more favorable position
Improve the way lips meet

It's not always easy to tell when your child has
an orthodontic problem. Even teeth that look straight
may be hiding a problem bite, and that's why it's
important to take your child for that first orthodontic
checkup no later than age 7. Here are some clues
that may indicate the need for orthodontic attention:

Early or late loss of baby teeth
Difficulty in chewing or biting
Breathing through the mouth
Thumb-sucking
Crowded, misplaced or blocked out teeth
Jaws that are too far forward or back
Biting the cheek or biting into the roof of the
mouth
Protruding teeth
Upper and lower teeth don't meet, or meet in an
abnormal way
An unbalanced facial appearance
Grinding or clenching of the teeth

ALL
ABOUT CAVITIES

Dental
Health: Cavities

Cavities
occur as a result of tooth decay. Tooth decay
is the destruction of tooth structure. Tooth decay
can affect both the enamel (the outer coating
of the tooth) and the dentin layer of the tooth.

Tooth
decay occurs when foods containing carbohydrates
(sugars and starches) such as breads, cereals,
milk, soda, fruits, cakes, or candy are left on
the teeth. Bacteria that live in the mouth digest
these foods, turning them into acids. The bacteria,
acid, food debris, and saliva combine to form
plaque, which clings to the teeth. The acids in
plaque dissolve the enamel surface of the teeth,
creating holes in the teeth called cavities, or
caries.

Who
Gets Cavities?

Many
people think cavities only affect children, but
changes that occur with aging make cavities an
adult problem too. Recession of the gums (a pulling
away of gum tissue from the teeth), often associated
with an increased incidence of gingivitis (gum
disease), can expose tooth roots to plaque. Also,
sugary food cravings in pregnant women can make
them more vulnerable to developing cavities.

Decay
around the edges of fillings is also common in
older adults. Because many older adults lacked
the benefits of fluoride and modern preventive
dental care when they were growing up, they often
have a number of dental fillings. Over the years,
these fillings may weaken and can fracture, allowing
bacteria to accumulate in the tiny crevices causing
tooth decay.

How
Do I Know if I Have a Cavity?

Your
dentist can discover cavities during your regular
dental checkup The tooth surface feels soft when
probed by your dentist with a dental instrument.
X-rays can also show cavities before they become
visible to the eye.

In
advanced stages of tooth decay, you might experience
a toothache, especially after consuming sweet,
hot, or cold foods or drinks. Other signs of tooth
decay are visible pits or holes in the teeth.

How
Are Cavities Treated?

Cavities
are treated in a number of different ways depending
on the extent of tooth decay. If decay is not
extensive, the decayed portion of the tooth is
removed by drilling and replaced with a filling
made of silver alloy, gold, porcelain, or a composite
resin. Restorative materials used in fillings
are considered safe. Concerns have been raised
over the safety of mercury-based, silver amalgams
in particular, but the ADA, FDA, and other public
health agencies continue to support the safety
of this restorative material. Allergies to silver
amalgam are rare as are allergies to other restorative
materials.

If
the decay is extensive and there is limited tooth
structure remaining, crowns will be used. If a
crown is needed, the decayed or weakened area
of the tooth is removed and repaired and a crown
is fitted over the remainder of the tooth. Crowns
are made from gold, porcelain, or porcelain fused
to metal.

If
the decay causes the nerve or pulp of the tooth
to die, a root canal will be performed. During
the procedure, the center of the tooth (including
the nerve, blood vessel, and tissue) is removed
along with the decayed portions of the tooth.
The roots are then filled with a sealing material.
If necessary, a crown can be placed over the filled
tooth.

Several
new treatments are under development. One experimental
technique uses fluorescent light to detect the
development of cavities long before they can be
detected by traditional means, such as x-rays
or dental examination. In many cases, if cavities
can be detected early, the decay process can be
stopped or reversed.

Researchers
are also working on a "smart filling" to prevent
further tooth decay by slowly releasing fluoride
over time around fillings and in adjacent teeth.
